Re: GLAMMY

Comments from someone on the Glammy cricket messageboard that the players do not believe the pitch is behaving that badly. Apparently 25 wickets in a day is a County record but am unsure if this is true.

If the wicket isn't playing up then god help the batting coaches.
You simply cannot have that many wickets in a day unless something is terribly wrong somewhere.

Croft said the wicket wasn't dangerous but did a bit of everything. Why Hogan didn't take up the option of making Glos bat first is beyond me. It was very cloudy at 11am so great bowling conditions.
There needs to be some straight talking at the club because what is going on is so poor and amateurish.
Regular run outs in the four day stuff is ridiculous, far too many no balls and extras in general, playing spinners as specialist batsmen when they are simply not up to it, batting collapses in most games, an inability to bowl out tail-enders.

You have to wonder what the hell is going on during coaching sessions because they do not seem to be learning anything.

Re: GLAMMY

Maybe the pitch is dodgy, but Glamorgan have proved yet again that their specialist batting is the least able to cope with such conditions in the country - in fact, no matter what the conditions, Glamorgan's batting can find a way to look very, very average in them.

Perhaps they're getting paid to throw matches. Would be a regular income stream.

I doubt we would be charged with this... it looks far too blatant!

People at the ground seem to think the pitch was lively but not as bad as 25 wickets in a day. Journo spoke to the ECB officer there, and he didn't expect a points deduction but there might be a strong slap on the wrist.

Re Glammy's batting, Norwell and Payne are good bowlers at Div 2 level, both of whom I expect will move on soon but should not be enough to skittle any side for 100ish.

Cooke and Wagg are batting

It wouldn't be hard for them either

Re: GLAMMY

Glos set 135 to win.
Soon as Wag went, just short of 50 partnership, they cleaned up the tail very quickly. Glammy take note!

48-0

Re: GLAMMY

48-0

looks like the pitch has flattened out after day one, with our batsmen scoring runs this morning and now Gloucester are finding it easy.

You would say that with this being an out ground and with there being 2 LVCC games and a T20 in the space of a week, they could have left some juice in the pitch to let it dry out over ther course of the week, which would be better than it being dry at the start and it crumbling and falling apart at the end.

Overall there had been poor decisions, with team selection and at the toss.

Is it down to Hogan or Croft and Morris?

Give the spinners a go

Its not that simplistic that its down to an individual. There has been a cycle of continuously getting rid of coaches, and replacing them with the next, and then not really seeing any improvement of results and performances.

There are issues that go down to the core of the club, its catchment area and its finances, and the ages of its playing squad. I dont believe there is a simply solution to it all.

Whoever decided they didn't want to bowl first on that wicket, be it Croft or Hogan, or both, need a long hard look at themselves.
